- Only comprehensive book of the whole topic of drug-induced neurological disorders
- The first work on this topic that has been updated over the past quarter of a century
- The first work to look at pathomechanisms of drug-induced disorders rather than simply using historical evidence to connect cause and effect. The challenges and unanswered questions are identified to provide research incentive for the future
This book is a first-of-its kind reference that systematically organizes and describes the adverse effects of drugs on the nervous system.
Drug safety is recognized as an important aspect of pharmaceutical companies as well as practice of medicine. Chapters include case reports of adverse effects of drugs that are published as well as reported to drug manufacturers. The book scope is broad as it covers lack of efficacy, drug resistance, drug-disease and drug-drug interactions. This information is used to improve the use of drugs as well as to design better and safer drugs for the future, and is relevant to personalized medicine in trying to match the right drugs to the patients.
Drug-induced Neurological Disorders offers a unique approach to this important topic by integrating clinical neurology with pharmacology with a focus on effects of drugs on the nervous system including those used for the treatment of neurological disorders as well systemic diseases. Many adverse effects involve multiple systems of the body and the syndromes with predominant effect on the nervous system are included in this book.
